Has Joel Matip been signed by anyone yet? Is there a possibility that he rejoins LFC maybe on a pay as you play deal.
{Ed002's Note - No chance and he is talking to ther clubs.}

Pay as you play is pretty unheard of and Matip is too good for that. I’d feel disrespected if I was Matip and was offered that. Good luck Joel, never let us down ?.

Eh, no offense, but Matip has let us down plenty of times. The injuries he picked up, at the least opportune moments, were beyond a joke. Still remains a Liverpool legend, and probably our best free signing of all time (Along with Milner) but let's not pretend he was infallible.

Every player gets injuries, Matip always put in 100% and never behaved poorly on or off the field - unlike some.

A footballers job isn't just 90 minutes on a weekend so pay as you play is just insulting. He could train all week, travel with the squad then get injured in the warm up and receive absolutely nothing. Imagine you worked Christmas day and Boxing day but didn't get paid anything for it because you had an accident at work that meant you couldn't work the last 90 minutes of your shift. You'd be absolutely fuming ?
In the immortal words of Heath Ledger's Joker character, "If you're good at something, never do it for free".

Why would Matip agree to such a crappy deal for one, and why would LFC even entertain such a thought? We've recently let him go for a reason. Too old, too injury prone despite him being a great player for the club over the years. Move on.

Mango - let's not forget Gary McAllister!

@Mango - How does anybody putting their body on the line in a contact sport and getting injured in doing so constitute letting anybody down ? At best your remarks are very naive.

I think it is pretty offensive to say matip let us down plenty of times. As far as i know, he wasnt disruptive, or refused to play, or cause disharmony? Yes, he had an injury record but gave all when played. He was unfortunate for sure.

Have to speak up for Matip.
While he did get injured, but you compare with Thiago? And even Naby?
And we pay 0 as transfer fees.
One of the best buys if you ask me.

I don’t think I’d describe a player getting injured as a reason they’re infallible.
